Twenty-five votes cast, 25 yes votes. On Sept. 24, Lower Kootenay Band (LKB) voters approved a land swap that gives them cash, economic development funds and property on Kootenay Lake. “This decision is of great significance,” LKB Chief Jason Louie said on Friday. “It was a rollercoaster of emotions last night when the results

came in. We’re talking about 100 years at least of our people not having a presence on Kootenay Lake.” After years of discussion and negotiation between the LKB and Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) officials, a tentative agreement that would allow the RDCK to acquire about 20 acres of land adjacent to its Lister landfill site was reached earlier this year. Approval of LKB voters was required.

“In the first round of voting (in August) the law required that 75 per cent of eligible voters approve the agreement,” Louie said. That didn’t happen, but 30 of the 33 people who did vote were in favour of the deal, which includes $300,000 in cash (determined by an independent evaluation) and an additional $300,000 for a joint LKB-RDCK economic development initiative “to examine and expand opportunities for

LKB’s community economic activities.” Additionally, the province offered 474 acres at Burden’s Cut and LaFrance Creek on Kootenay Lake through an “incremental treaty agreement”. The LKB will hold the property in fee simple until a treaty is settled with the Ktunaxa Nation, at which point the parcel becomes Ktunaxa land.

Creston resident Gene Zackowski submitted these photos showing Sunday night’s “super blood moon”, a total eclipse that took place during the moon’s closest approach to Earth on its elliptical orbit. The “blood” reference comes from the moon’s apparent colour during the event, when it is darkened by Earth’s shadow, and turned red by the same effect that causes sunsets to appear reddish and the refraction of that light by Earth’s atmosphere.

fter successfully piloting the project in 2014, the Regional District of Central Kootenay’s seasonal free yard and garden waste program is now permanent. Every year in April and October, residents in the East Waste Sub-region can deposit their yard and garden waste for no tipping fee at the Creston Landfill, Crawford Bay Transfer Station and Boswell Transfer Station. The RDCK anticipates that the continuation of this program will reduce yard waste burning, thereby improving local air quality. “Every spring and fall there is a noticeable drop in air quality due from people burning their yard and garden waste,”

says sub-region resource recovery chair and Area A director Garry Jackman. “Last April at the east sub-region facilities, 373 loads of yard and garden waste were brought in for deposit that may otherwise have been burned. To me, that is a success story and shows that the program should continue on a permanent basis.” Yard and garden waste materials that qualify for free tipping fees include hedge clippings, weeds, shrubs, and shrub and tree branches less than 15 centimeters (six inches) in diameter. Materials that do not qualify include tree stumps, noxious weeds, rocks, sand, soil, and fruit and vegetable material.

Over 153,000 used valley border crossings in summer BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

More than 153,000 travellers entered Canada through the Creston Valley’s two border crossings during the summer, according to information from the Canada Border Services Agency. Of the 105,345 who came through the Kingsgate port of entry south of Yahk, 50,375 arrived in July and 54,970 in August — 30 per cent of its annual traffic — with 74,948 of those Canadian travellers returning home and 30,397 foreign nationals. Border services officers (BSOs) determined that 59 of those arriving — 337 in July and 22 in August — did not meet admissibility requirements, and they voluntarily withdrew their application to enter Canada. “Most travellers were refused entry due to a criminal history,” said the CBSA report. Some reasons for criminal inadmissibility included driving under the influence, sexual acts with a child, possession of a controlled substance, and breaking and entering. One traveller was refused entry after being issued a previous deportation order, and attempting to return without authorization.

BSOs at Kingsgate made four customs seizures in July, for the undervaluation of an RV, the undervaluation of a purebred canine and the nonreport of a watercraft. Another traveller was arrested and refused entry for carrying personal quantities of LSD, marijuana and a regulated opiate narcotic.

July/August Crossings KINGSGATE Canadian: 74,948 Foreign: 30,397 Total: 105,345 RYKERTS Canadian: 38,070 Foreign: 9,727 Total: 47,797 In August, a U.S. resident seeking entry did not declare any weapons during primary inspection, but later admitted to having a .22-calibre revolver under the driver’s seat. “The traveller was charged and pleaded guilty in the Creston Law Courts to possession of a firearm with readily accessible ammunition,” said the CBSA report.

Enforcement actions taken in August included the seizure of two handguns and personal quantities of amphetamine, and intercepting a traveller who attempted to enter Canada without reporting to the CBSA. At the smaller Rykerts crossing south of Creston, 24,678 travellers crossed in July and 23,119 in August. Of those 47,797, 38,070 were returning Canadian travellers. The BSOs at Rykerts are also responsible for processing aircraft at the Creston Valley Regional Airport and the Eckhart International Airstrip just south of the border. Four were processed in July, and three (six passengers and crew) in August. In July, four travellers voluntarily withdrew their applications to enter Canada, after being deemed criminally inadmissible on charges and/or convictions of larceny, trespassing and theft. Charges or convictions of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to traffic, fraud, theft and driving while under the influence kept seven people from Canada in August. BSOs seized seven 1.75-litre bottles of undeclared alcohol from a U.S. resident in July, and levied eight forced entries of taxes for goods that were not declared in August.

Land swap FROM PAGE 1

“In the second vote, a simple majority of ballots cast would determine the outcome,” Louie said. “All 25 ballots were in favour of the agreement — there were zero opposing it.” Louie paid tribute to his community’s elders and past leaders, many of whom didn’t live long enough to see the arrangement to completion. “I think of our elders guiding us and feel sad they weren’t here for the final count.” RDCK Area B director Tanya Wall said the referendum outcome has two primary benefits. “From my position it’s a move forward that allows us to have a sustainable landfill plan — if you are going to own a landfill you need to be responsible for it,” she said on Tuesday. “Just as important, it is a relationship builder that shows that we can all work together to the benefit of all parties.” Wall spoke of the positive relationship between Creston Valley’s regional directors and the Town of Creston, adding that including LKB in the mix is important to the entire area.

“Money can be spent, but land is forever. We made history yesterday and that’s something to be proud of.” Jason Louie Lower Kootenay Band

“We have a much greater voice with other levels of government when they know that we all work together for the betterment of all of our residents,” she said. Louie said it is too early to determine just what purposes the Kootenay Lake land, which includes waterfront and mountainside, could be put to. “It’s up to our citizens to determine what it looks like in the future and maybe that’s for future generations to decide,” he said. “Right now we will enjoy it in its natural state and take advantage of the beach and hiking opportunities.” He said that the land swap is much more meaningful than a simple sale of the Lister property would have been. “Money can be spent, but land is forever,” Louie said. “We made history yesterday and that’s something to be proud of. It was a genuine team effort and I credit RDCK representatives, past and present, for realizing it would take a collaborative effort to accomplish what just happened.”

and Canyon-Lister fire departments after a fire broke out at Trinity United Church. Onlookers speculated that the fire started around 2:20 p.m., and smoke could quickly be seen bil-

lowing from vents at both ends of the church hall's gables, and a large hole burned through the roof about 10 feet from the front of the building, eventually spreading along most of the peak. The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing. The church and some surrounding buildings and businesses were evacuated, including Kootenay Employment Services, which was in direct line of much of the smoke, and the adjacent Catalpa apartments, home to about two dozen residents. The hall, where the fire took place, opened on Feb. 4, 1958, with an official dedication on May 10, 1962. In 1975, the first service was held in the chapel, which has been used as a thrift store for the past few years.

This is the third of eight articles being sponsored through TAPS as part of a Moving Along Together Program (for people experiencing memory changes and their caregivers). This is funded by a Columbia Basin Trust Social Grant. In this second series we’ll be sharing these ideas to stimulate discussion and inspiration through exploring our understanding of memory, what affects it and some current information on ways to improve or maintain it. See our contact information above for further information about the program. This week’s theme is how to boost our memories by giving ourselves every chance we can. What can that mean? Consider how our world has changed. More people used to live close to their extended families. Did you have a grandparent at home with you? How about aunts and uncles in the same town? Perhaps your answer is “yes, we did and still do”. Some families are able to relocate to be nearer to each other, while for others their ‘family’ is their friends and community connections. Our country is large, young people travel and explore. Families have always moved for jobs or new opportunities, that’s not new. Yet now we live in a society of obvious mobility physically, and yet also boundary-less, enabled by technological advances for communication and connection to the ‘larger world’ and with each other no matter where we live. Seniors may not have as many opportunities to play a role in their families such as the opportunity to bake cookies or share their gardens with their children and grandchildren directly, yet we have other opportunities if we take the

time to look around and consider options and help one another take advantage of them. With new technology, families and friends stay in touch via mobile phones, tablets and iPads and then there’s Skype and Facebook to name a few. These things are actually bridging a gap for many folks who’ve been able to adapt to this world of communication as a way of supporting each other. Yet, barriers of all kinds may not help the ones unable to access or make use of connecting in this way. In our area with our high population (33%) of seniors, we are fortunate to have many resources for learning, clubs to participate in, support groups for specific needs and a community that is welcoming. Our public library, recreational complex, seniors groups: New Horizons for Seniors and BC Seniors Association, Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors, Community Halls, church communities, and and arts and culture groups are just some of the ways that seniors can connect and build relationships. We easily recognize that physiological changes happen as we age; yet do we likewise recognize the effects of emotional and social changes especially if feeling disconnected or isolated. Life deals us all different challenges, and when one is feeling out of touch for whatever reason, our memory as well as our well being can be affected. So, along with our physical needs for nourishment, being in contact with loved ones, friends or in community feeds and fuels our well being. Our memory is affected by how we feel about ourselves and the world. So “giving ourselves a chance to boost our memory” might mean considering and acting on how you can participate, reach out, and communicate in some new ways. If you are a caregiver or family member of someone with memory changes, consider these things and how you can help your loved ones build connections.

Making it work

A radio report a couple weeks back caught my attention. CBC Radio aired an interview with Kootenay Lake school district Supt. Jeff Jones about the reported chaos being experienced at L.V. Rogers Secondary School in Nelson, where a parents meeting had been called to deal with the frustrations students were having with scheduling and getting the elective courses they wanted. The story itself wasn’t particularly different from what we typically hear from high schools each September. It’s always a mad scramble, especially when it comes to enrolment numbers. It’s all good when projections made by principals earlier in the year turn out to be accurate, because that’s what the Sept. 1 staffing level is based on. If the number of students is higher than anticipated, they get crammed into classrooms until staff can be added. Projections that turn out to be low mean that newly hired teachers live for a month or more holding their breath — layoffs are coming. This year, though, high schools across the province were also using a new, provincially mandated scheduling system and Jones expressed frustration that glitches were causing headaches for staff, students and parents. What really caught my attention was Jones’ suggestion to address the problems in Nelson and Creston (he brought Prince Charles Secondary School into the conversation himself — no big uprising was occurring here). The principals will have to spend their way out of the problem, he said, by hiring more staff and exceeding their budgets. Really? Budgets that are really the ultimate responsibility of administrative staff and the school board are now to be ignored by the very people who aren’t supposed to ignore them? This

sounded more like Jones was throwing his principals under a bus than a helpful suggestion or solution. The next week, back from several days in Calgary, I thought I would check on the Creston situation.

Lorne Eckersley It took a few hours, but Jones gave PCSS principal Scott Cobbe the OK to talk to me and off I went to the high school. By that time I knew that the school board had averted a possible problem for Jones and the principals by approving the addition of teaching positions in both L.V. Rogers and PCSS. I met with Cobbe and assistant principal Mike Nelson in an office whose walls are covered with masses of sticky notes. Much of the scheduling for classes falls to Nelson and it’s something he’s probably very good at, with calculus being one of his specialties. Undoubtedly it’s a challenge in a smallish school to satisfy the wants and needs of students when it comes to electives, trying to balance demand with the need, Jones’ comments aside, to work within a budget. I was pleased to learn than neither Cobbe or Nelson thought that this September was all that more challenging than previous years. The problems with the scheduling system were minor, they said. And Cobbe took full responsibility for his projected enrolment, which looks like it will fall short by about 20 students. In other words, PCSS has

about 20 more students than it was ready to accommodate. To his credit, Cobbe said that he works hard to make his projections as accurate as possible and refuses to be overly optimistic. An optimistic projection can lead to the need to lay off teachers in October, after the final enrolment numbers are set, and that’s not something he wants to build into his planning model, Cobbe said. As we talked, it occurred to me that the difference between Nelson and Creston school challenges this fall might be more cultural than anything. Is it possible, I wondered, that Creston residents are simply less demanding than our Nelson counterparts? Cobbe didn’t deny that possibility, but added fuel to my theory by saying that he had only had to deal with one upset parent in September, nothing like the outcry that had come out of Nelson and put the story out across the province. The theory isn’t intended to be judgmental. Nelson is known for its activism and probably has a larger base of parents who are also professionals who have high expectations for their kids. In Creston, we have one of the lowest family income levels in the province and we tend to make do in every aspect of our lives. Perhaps we are more understanding when we see others, Cobbe and Nelson and the PCSS staff in this instance, doing their utmost to provide students with what they need. We live our lives doing the best we can with what we have, so why would we blame others when things don’t go exactly the way we would like? We ask others to do their best with what they have to work with, just as so many of us have done to adapt to life in this wonderful Creston Valley.

Pet society doing the best it can To the Editor: (Re: “Few Options for Unwanted Animals”, Sept. 3) Having read Darlene Wright’s letter about Creston Pet Adoption and Welfare Society, some thoughts come to mind that I want to share with you. In 2014, PAWS helped either reunite owners and animals or found longterm, loving homes for 83 dogs, 59 cats, one goat, two rabbits and a bearded dragon. The numbers for 2013 are 107 dogs, 36 cats, two rabbits, a flock of goslings and three horses in foster care. We try to do the best that we can with the money, and volunteer power, that we have available to us. We cannot be everything to all people. We have our limitations. PAWS does not “possess” a contract with the Town of Creston to be the pound. We can only look after animals during the hours that the town is closed, that is, evenings, weekends, statutory holidays or in an emergency. The town provides a pound for animals found within the boundaries of the Town of Creston, as enforced by the town’s bylaw enforcement officer. For the rest of the Creston Valley and beyond, PAWS is the unofficial pound. Some people have questioned why we solicit support from Creston residents if we do not have the ability to accept strays from the town. As you can see, we do accept animals from the town under the foregoing circumstances. Additionally, we accept surrendered animals as space permits when arrangements have been made in advance. Currently, we have wait lists for animals to come to us, and that has been the situation most of this year and most of the previous years. We cannot accept walk-ins. We have kennel space for 13 dogs and space for 25 cats. We also have foster homes for several animals, where animals live that don’t do well in a kennel situation. While we are not part of, or funded by the SPCA, we do have a working relationship with the nearby SPCA facilities in Cranbrook, Trail and Nelson, and all of the SPCA facilities in the world. But thank you, Ms. Wright, for bringing it to the attention of the entire Creston Valley that PAWS does need more volunteers in order to continue to provide the services that it does provide to local animals and their owners. And I take it from your letter that you

want to see PAWS improved, so I have sent you a membership application and volunteer form, so that you may indeed convert words into deeds. Yes, the headline of your letter was completely correct, “Few Options for Unwanted Animals”. Thank you for pointing out this important fact. PAWS was created to fill this void to the extent of its resources and provide temporary homes and permanent homes to lost or unwanted animals. If it has fallen short, in your opinion, then I apologize. For a very clear understanding of how decisions are made regarding the intake of any cat, do come to the shelter for a visit. We will be happy to show you how and, more importantly, why things work the way they do. You can see the cat pad, the cat isolation room, the bathrooms that house cats, the hallway that is home to some of the cats, and see photos of the cats lucky enough to live in a foster home instead of the shelter. Please come and see us. Diana Miller PAWS President

Coverup schemers promoted To the Editor: Despite the coverup in the Duffy affair, Stephen Harper keeps repeating that the only people involved were Nigel Wright and Mike Duffy. But Harper’s key staff orchestrated the scheme and the talking points, and some of them have been promoted or moved to taxpayer-paid positions. This is our government? Frank Orosz Creston

Canada can be what it was in past To the Editor: (Open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper) Dear Mr. Harper: I have begun this letter with a salutation that I hope you are readying yourself to become more accustomed to in any letters you might be receiv-

ing from people in the future after this next election. I can’t, in all fairness to myself, refer to you as a prime minister. Not, at least, of Canada. So, go ahead Mr. Harper, put me on a watch list as Public Enemy No. Whatever, because I am not afraid of you. You want me to be afraid of you and of everything that moves or breathes or wears what you consider “non-normal” attire or subscribes to a religion outside your personal comfort zone, but I was raised to cherish my freedom and to defend democracy, ethics, morality and social equality so I am not afraid of you, nor do I feel bolstered by whatever “protection” you would like me to perceive that you are needing to provide for me from hostile, non-democratic factions. So I will not be voting for you. But you probably already figured that out. However, I do fear the negative, controlling, inexcusable, underhanded, narrow-minded, homophobic, tightassed techniques you seem to feel you have a mandate to use in managing our country. So, let me make it clear that I want: •an unbiased, honest Senate, or none at all; •a strong crime-preventative police force inspired and funded by the government to work for taxpayers and not conglomerates or drug dealers or you; •a non-fossil fuel driven economy; •Big Brother out of my home, phone, Internet and all other forms of unauthorized data collection; •an inspiring, free-thinking body of MPs who aren’t afraid (there is that word again!) to speak out for and support the people who voted for them and not the prime minister, just to gain favour with him or her; •a good, polite and meaningful debate between intelligent individuals in the House of Commons (if I want to spend a day in a poorly-run daycare facility, I will go there instead); •an election free of corruption; •a military that has the governmentsupported ability to protect our country, rather than constricting environmental protests and demonstrations; •a provision for those who live too meagerly, including veterans and seniors; and •respect for First Nations and their determination to protect our environment This is not a conclusive list, but I think it describes in part what Canada has been in the past and can be once again. Once you are gone from the office of the prime minister and back into public life, we can begin putting our country back together. Goodbye, Mr. Harper. Pat Martin Canyon

Fall is time for third health fair

Wow. Oct. 1 already. What happened to summer? We experienced everything from low snowpack to a mild spring and a smoking hot summer to water shortages and fires. We were worried

From the Centre Neil Ostafichuk about our soccer and baseball fields suffering from lack of water but it’s astounding how those lawns, as well as

many others around the area, bounced right back as if nothing had happened. Our falls are always amazing, though, as we shift into the cooler nights but still have warm days. One of our special events coming up is the annual Health and Wellness Fair 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Nov. 7. This will be the third time the fair has happened here, and to be honest, when Andrea, our recreation programmer, first floated the idea out for this special event, we weren’t sure how it would be received by both vendors and community. Obviously, since we are at No. 3, it has grown in popularity for both displays and attendance, plus we get great feedback each year that lets us tweak the event to attract more people. Who isn’t interested in health?

So what is it? The Health and Wellness Fair takes place at the Creston and District Community Complex and gives you the opportunity to interact with health minded groups, organizations and businesses in a trade show format. The difference here is that exhibitors all have a common theme they follow — your health, which for me, ranks up there with favourite things like walking and breathing. It would be pretty tough to exit this event without picking up some interesting and beneficial information if, of course, you choose to engage with some of the exhibitors. I’m pretty sure no one is selling encyclopedias or vacuum cleaners at this one. SEE HEALTH, PAGE 8

Looking forward, reflecting on council’s year

but with discussion and compromise we have, in my opinion, made great decisions for the community. We are also committed to working with the regional directors for the betterment of the entire valley. Each councillor also participates in a number of committees, and we keep each other well informed with reports of these meetings. In other words, communication is key! I am aware that not all of the decisions we make please Karen Unruh everyone. Decisions As new council members, we are based on the best informahad to learn about each other, tion available and we are how to work effectively with charged with making the decieach other and how to get our sions that better the larger cominput heard. Not knowing any of munity as a whole, not just a the council (except Mayor single party or stakeholder. I Toyota), I continue to listen care- often read the letters to the edifully to what each member has tor and I am sometimes amused to say and how they say it. As at suggestions that are made. individual members of council Often constraints on great ideas we do not always agree on items, aren’t recognized, such as costs, Looking back, it has been one year since I decided to run for membership on town council. I worked hard to get your support and I hope I have proven myself to be a good choice for representing you.

capacity, authority, etc. Individuals who would like to discuss their idea with council are encouraged to contact the town office and request to appear as a delegation — we would love to hear from you in a forum in which we can respond and have a discussion. In our new term, there have been several zoning changes; some you are well aware of, others may go unnoticed. It is important that the public understand, that the approval or denial of applications rests with council. Public input and professional recommendations by staff factor into this decision-making process. Timelines for approval processes vary, but it’s important to recognize that the decisions council makes today will remain on the landscape beyond my lifetime. It’s a huge responsibility. Bylaws are continuously reviewed and amended as required. The cemetery bylaw is presently being given final

reading and adoption. The new revitalization tax exemption bylaw is designed to provide incentive to improve new and existing commercial businesses. Phone town hall for more information on this exciting program. Lively discussion has already begun on the animal control bylaw. The changes to this regulatory tool are significant and I am committed to keeping an open mind throughout this process, listening to all opinions and working towards a bylaw that can be appreciated by the majority of citizens. Our fire department was busy this past year with the work experience program, the first responders program and a hectic fire season. New equipment, including a fire truck with 100-foot ladder, was purchased from reserve funds. Additionally, two rescue trucks were sold and replaced with a single unit better suited to the conditions of our community. Regional fire service agreements continue to provide the valley with an exemplary service. A huge thank you to all those emergency responders who do so much for our community! The public works department had a busy year with infrastructure work in town. The most noticeable is the 3.2 kilometres of chip sealing that was completed on our streets. Our engineer gave us an “Asset Management 101” training, which outlines the costs of our roads, water, sanitary and storm drainage requirements. Throughout this, we prioritize the short- and long-terms needs of the community and will budget annually for the required work. The Pine Street intersection is such a plus when coming through town. It looks great and the Ministry of Transportation and town staff need to be commended for a job well done. It was completed on time and on budget! During the summer we kept busy. We had a Business Walk with follow-up meetings. On the whole, positive comments were received from employers about the generally positive state of business. See our website for a summary report on the outcomes. We also had tours of the Arrow Creek water plant, the waste water treatment plant and the airport. A meeting was held with the School

District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) board, and we also had meetings (open public and regional district) regarding the recreation facility and the skateboard park. Summer gave us a little slower pace, but we are quickly moving into our second year, and anticipate that it will be action packed. The council as a whole attended the UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities) in Vancouver the week of Sept. 21-25. UBCM advocates on behalf of B.C. local governments for the development and implementation of legislation, regulation, policies and programs. It is important for council to attend this event as there are many resolutions discussed and voted on that have far reaching impacts. We met with several B.C. government ministers and/or staff. This convention is a time that we as councillors can make a difference by ensuring our voices are heard and our vote is counted. Networking is also important to find out what works or does not work in other communities. These meetings reenergize us and we come back with ideas to share and make changes locally. As you are reading this column, we are completing a two-day strategic planning session. We reviewed our annual report, age friendly action plan, asset management information, Business Walk report, Creston Fire Rescue strategy plan, citizen satisfaction survey, Cultivating Creston action plan, five-year financial plan, Official Community Plan, visitor/ tourism assessment, youth engagement report and the previous strategic plan. I will leave the outcome of our sessions to another council report, but I do not anticipate big changes from the previous plan, which included economic development, Highway 3 realignment, First Nations partnership, health/ physician recruitment, youth program support, green initiatives and waste reduction. If your priority is not listed, it does not mean we don’t have it on our radar. If you have any suggestions, ideas or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. My email is karen.unruh@creston.ca or call me 250-428-4148. Karen Unruh is a first-term councillor for the Town of Creston.

Health

Other cool items are a fitness challenge starting at 11 a.m., which will be a set of stations to test your strength and endurance. Each round lasts 15 minutes and is open to adults and teens with cash prizes at the finish. As well, there is a stick clinic at the Creston Curling Club from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and the opportunity to come down and try curling if you never have before. How much to get in, you ask? Your entry fee of $3 for adults, $2 for seniors or students and $1 for children not only gets you into the Health and Wellness Fair, it gets you a wristband for the facility and all its amenities that you would get on a regular day. Now there’s an offer you can’t refuse! Neil Ostafichuk is the recreation supervisor at the Creston and District Community Complex.

FROM PAGE 7

If you like to listen to guest speakers, we have a full lineup throughout the day. Some of the subjects include: “Sleep: Why are You not Sleeping?”, “Naturopathic Medicine and What it Can Do for You”, “Herbs for Better Cognitive Health and Immune Function”, “Ways to Feel Calm, Increase Confidence and Improve Relationships”, “Break that Sugar Addiction”, “Acupuncture and TCM”, “Ayurvedic Medicine” and, finally, “Your Financial Health”. Our speakers include Kim Masuch, Maya Skalinska, Peggy Ness, Jessica Shearer, Zea Friesen and Kerry Ross. Heady stuff but remember: knowledge is power.

Friends of Kootenay Lake

Volunteers at last year’s cleanup at Argenta.

Volunteers wanted to clean Crawford Bay shore FRIENDS OF KOOTENAY LAKE

The Eastshore Freshwater Habitat Society and Friends of Kootenay Lake are teaming up to organize a community shoreline cleanup event at Crawford Bay Beach on the East Shore of Kootenay Lake. They invite the public to take action against shoreline garbage by joining them from 1-4 p.m. Oct. 3 for the Crawford Bay shoreline cleanup event. This will be a great opportunity for community members to have fun, help the lake, and socialize. The plan is to meet at Crawford Bay Beach at 1 p.m. and start cleaning up garbage along the shoreline. After the cleanup there will be a campfire with free hotdogs and refreshments. Bring boots and work gloves! This event is part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, a nationwide initiative to clean up Canada’s shorelines. In 2014, nearly 140,000 kilograms of litter was removed from 2,500 kilometres of shorelines from across Canada. For local shorelines, waterways and oceans around the world, shoreline litter is a global environmental problem that can have long-term impacts on ecosystems, wildlife and people. Removing it helps make aquatic ecosystems cleaner, healthier and safer for all living things.

Library starting Great Outdoors speaker series CRESTON VALLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY

Cougars and coyotes and bears! Oh my! Vancouver Island’s recent cougar attack was a stark reminder of how living and playing in British Columbia can involve violent close encounters with wild animals. Thankfully, these clashes are rare, but if you do find yourself face to face with a beast of the forest, being prepared and knowing what to do can literally save your life. This is the theme of the next feature in the Creston Valley Public Library’s Great Outdoors speaker series, “Safety in the Backcountry”, with WildSafeBC’s trans-border community co-ordinator Trish Drinkle. WildSafeBC is a program designed to reduce human-wildlife conflict through education, innovation and co-operation. It has evolved out of the highly successful Bear Aware program and is owned and delivered by the British Columbia Conservation

A presentation at the Creston library will discuss wild animal encounters.

Foundation. The mission of WildSafeBC is to reduce humanwildlife conflicts in all aspects of our lives, including how we live, work, play and grow. “Our motto of keeping wildlife wild and communities safe underscores our belief that if we can keep wildlife unhabituated we can, in turn, make our communities safer for us and at the same time keep wildlife from coming to harm,” said Drinkle. We ourselves are a part of nature, she added, and hopefully view all of our natural surroundings with curiosity and confidence. With education and some deliberate measures, we

Get Ready for the Holidays!

can be free to fully delight in what nature has to offer. The free presentation, “Safety in the Backcountry” with Trish Drinkle, will take place 7 p.m. Oct. 8 at the Creston Valley Public Library. The Library’s Great Outdoors series will run once per month for the next several months. Watch for upcoming topics, “Canoe Tripping in the Path of the Voyagers”, “Backcountry Snowmobiling Basics” and “Herbs in the Wild”. For more information, contact the library at 250-428-4141.

Leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election, the Advance — in co-ordination with other Black Press newspapers — asked the four member of Parliament candidates in the Kootenay-Columbia federal riding: 7. What is CBC’s role in Canadian society and how should it be handled by the federal government? 8. Do you support the dissolution of the Senate? Why or why not?

Thursday, October 1, 2015 Creston Valley Advance

Bill Green (Green)

BILL GREEN 7. CBC/Radio-Canada is part of the core fabric of our country. As our national public broadcaster, it has defined what it means to be Canadian. My own life is deeply enriched by CBC Radio. We need to reinvest in a CBC/ Radio-Canada that is distinctly public and distinctly Canadian. The Green Party will ensure that CBC and Radio-Canada have adequate and stable funding. We will increase their federal core funding by $315 million per year to rebuild local coverage and capacity. We will also change the governance structure so partisan political cronies will no longer be appointed to the CBC board of directors. 8. I agree with Canadians that the Senate cannot continue in its present form. Its legitimacy has been seriously undermined by scandal and hyper-partisanship, and its constitutional role to represent regional and provincial interests has been abandoned. The

Don Johnston Wayne Stetski

Senate must be reformed during the next Parliament. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that abolishing the Senate requires the unanimous consent of all provinces. The Green Party believes the question should be put to the people of Canada. Green MPs will advocate that Parliament appoint a non-partisan commission to hold hearings across the country to listen to Canadians, explain the issues at stake, and discuss options for reform. The commission would be required to come up with a serious reform proposal that involves a Senate, either elected or independently selected, with a new distribution of seats and new powers. The constitutional proposal should then be put to the people for approval in a national referendum. The referendum question would ask Canadians which option they favour, the reform proposal or abolition. There would be no option for the status quo.

DON JOHNSTON 7. CBC is a critically important institution and service. CBC is a place for Canadians to share the great diversity of this country and to have conversations about Canada, its uniqueness, its place in the world, and its achievements and aspirations. The role that CBC Radio plays in rural areas is particularly important. I recently did an interview on CBC Radio and followed that with a tour of the riding. In every community we stopped in, at least one person commented on the interview and in some cases many did. It was amazing to realize how many people that interview reached and only CBC could do that. Fortunately, the feedback was universally positive. CBC binds us together in important ways and that is why the Liberal Party will invest $150 million in new annual funding and reverse the Harper cuts. I look forward to many years of CBC Radio with my breakfast. 8. The dissolution of the Senate would require the support of seven provinces representing 50 per cent of the population. Recent attempts to make significant constitutional changes have all failed. Regardless of what Mr. Mulcair is saying, the process would be lengthy, expensive and the likelihood of success extremely low. We need to focus on changing the hyper-partisan nature of the Senate and the ideologically driven nature of appointments. Justin Trudeau accomplished the most significant reform in Senate history simply by cutting the ties with the Liberal caucus so Senators are independent and no longer subject to party control. We would implement a new, non-partisan, merit-based, broad and diverse process to advise on Senate appointments (similar to the process of appointing people to the Order of Canada). This would completely change the partisan nature of the Senate and allow us to get onto important challenges like climate change and the economy. WAYNE STETSKI 7. The news for CBC just got worse. We’re now hearing that the Harper Conservatives

(New Democrat)

intend to sell off CBC’s assets in the middle of a highly contested election. At the very least, this is morally wrong! CBC is our national voice and is considered an integral part of our national fabric. When Canadians talk about Canadian values, a strong CBC is often stated as one of those values. Canadians across the country depend on the National, As It Happens, Cross Country Checkup and the Sunday Edition to stay in touch with what is happening in our country and in our world. And here in Kootenay-Columbia, stories and experiences are shared by listening to Daybreak South and Radio West. When I decided to run for MP, I made a list of things that concerned me most about the direction that Stephen Harper is taking our Canada. On that list were my deep concerns for CBC. Successive Liberal and Conservative governments have slashed funding for CBC/ Radio-Canada, first the Liberals with a $415 million cut, followed by an additional $115 million cut by the Conservatives. An NDP government will reverse the Conservatives’ $115 million cut and provide longterm, stable funding for CBC. We will usher in a new era of innovation, independence and stability for Canada’s public broadcaster. 8. It is the position of the NDP that it is time to abolish the unelected, unaccountable Senate. And we are seeking a mandate from Canadians to do just that. This is part of our platform for renewed democracy. We also want to make 2015 the last election that uses the first-past-the-post electoral system, which has allowed Stephen Harper’s right-wing government to attack our fundamental values with only 39 per cent of the vote. An NDP government will bring in mixed-member, proportional representation voting in our first term. DAVID WILKS 7. In 1936, Parliament passed the Canadian Broadcasting Act (CBA) creating the CBC as broadcast regulator of private radio broadcasters.

David Wilks (Conservative) INCUMBENT

CBC-TV’s first broadcasts were in 1952. In 1958, CBC became a Crown corporation. In 1968 the CRTC was created to control, protect and enhance Canadian content. CBC-TV transmitted 90 per cent Canadian entertainment. The majority of viewers chose to watch American content on Canadian private broadcasters. When cable began in 1991, Parliament attempted to control what Canadians could watch in their homes; however, they didn’t foresee the impact of satellite beginning in 1994. In the 500-channel universe, broadcasters, cable/satellite companies amalgamated with Internet providers and newspapers. An explosion of entertainment fed to consumers on the Internet has further eroded influence of the CBC on Canadian’s reality. CBC has tried to adapt with new platforms and services. As they strive to be relevant to Canadians in this new reality, reasonable taxpayer support of the CBC should continue. 8. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has shown Canadians that politics can be filled with feel-good promises that have little if any chance of being delivered. Mulcair tells us he will abolish the Senate. He intentionally ignores an April 2014 Supreme Court of Canada ruling, which decided reforms require the approval of at least seven provinces representing at least 50 per cent of the population. The Supreme Court ruled that Prime Minister Harper’s proposed reforms, including Senate elections and term limits, were illegal. The court also ruled that outright abolition could occur only if all 10 provinces agreed. Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard insists the Senate’s troubles are what he called “administrative dysfunction” that can be fixed. He vowed to fight any effort to scrap the Senate. The majority of premiers, including Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, support Couillard’s position There is a constitutional stalemate. Saying, “I’ll just abolish it,” giving Canadians false hope, is just dishonest.

Welcome to our new veterinarian

Dr. Katrina Neufeld

t a young age, I knew that I wanted to become a veterinarian, and am very excited to start my career at the Creston Veterinary Hospital. Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, my family always included an assortment of furry critters, instilling in me a love for animals at a young age. After high school, I obtained a Bachelor of Science (Agro-ecology) degree from UBC before attending the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. During my post-secondary studies I worked in a variety of small and mixed animal veterinary clinics, was involved in nutrition and animal welfare research with cattle (beef and dairy) and swine, and volunteered in low-cost spay-neuterhealth clinics on reservations in South Dakota.

n my spare time I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my crazy rescue mutt Indie, playing various sports (favorites during vet school were ice hockey and inner tube water polo), cooking/ baking, and listening to music.

T-Cats beat Wranglers, Rockies ing from the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Doug Birks Division. “It took what probably would have been a pretty tight game and made it a bit of a lopsided score,” he said. “One Hundred Mile is as physical a team as we’ve seen in a while. They’re a pretty tough group — they finished every check. We knew that going in, but still, it was a bit of an adjustment for our guys.” Jackson Bruce-Fuoco scored the first two power-play goals, with 9:41

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

After a loss at home the previous weekend, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats earned two wins at home on Friday and Saturday, shutting out the 100 Mile House Wranglers 5-0 and beating the Columbia Valley Rockies 3-1. Thunder Cats head coach Jeff Dubois credited the team for making the most of power-play opportunities to beat the Wranglers, visit-

and 8:59 remaining in the first period. Lien MillerJeannotte scored another power play goal with just over a minute left. In the second period, Alec Wilkinson scored at 3:49, and Carson Cartwright added a fourth power-play goal at 0:50. Thunder Cats goalie Brock Lefebvre “had to make some real good stops,” said Dubois, blocking 27 in the game. Dubois wasn’t happy with the first 40 minutes of Saturday’s game, when Creston hosted the Rockies. “It was our first time seeing Columbia Valley this year, and they’ve definitely got a more skilled group than they did last season,” he said. “We found ourselves getting into a pretty scrambly game, getting away from doing things we do well.” Cartwright scored the first Creston goal with 1:06 remaining in the first period, followed closely by the Rockies’ first goal. McConnell Kimmett scored the second Creston goal in the second period. Creston started to take control in the third period, when Miller-Jeannotte scored the game’s final goal, “but it was definitely a long way from what we consider to be our best hockey,” said Dubois. Although the Thunder Cats have been “pretty clean and organized” in the defensive zone, “we got away from that on Saturday,” said Dubois. And offensively, “we were trying to find the perfect play rather than getting pucks to net.” He was pleased, though, with the efforts of Logan Wullum and Nicholas Kovacik, who were effective on the team’s penalty killing, which stand at over 90 per cent. “How good we’ve been at killing penalties has been a big part of our success,” he said. This weekend, the Thunder Cats play at home again, hosting the Grand Forks Border Bruins on Friday and the Revelstoke Grizzlies on Sunday. “They’re a pretty young, hardworking team,” said Dubois of the Border Bruins, and noted the last time they played, the teams tied 4-4 in a preseason exhibition game. “They’ll definitely be a good test in terms of where our work ethic is going to be and making sure we don’t let them come in and set the pace.” Sunday’s game will mark the first time since Dubios has been head coach that Creston will take on Revelstoke. The Grizzlies have had two wins and three losses this season — compared to Creston’s 4-1 record — but the team will do some research to prepare. “We’re going to see some video this week, and we’ll be ready,” said Dubois.

I am approximately 6 years old and an awesome mix of Red Heeler & Kelpie. I'm well mannered, and clearly have picked up lots, because I am that kind of dog! I'm okay with cats but not as fond of small kids. I am neutered and up to date with all my shots. Come meet me at the shelter.

Literacy fundraiser coming to Creston next week

COLUMBIA BASIN ALLIANCE FOR LITERACY

Community leaders and volunteers will join Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy on Oct. 8 to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and to celebrate the power literacy has in Creston. The fifth annual Reach a Reader campaign will raise funds for Creston’s communitybased literacy programs. Why literacy? Statistics indicate that up to 45 per cent of B.C.’s adult population has difficulty with some daily living tasks — due in part to limited literacy skills. These include reading a newspaper, filling out an application form, reading a

map or understanding a lease. “Literacy is not just the ability to read or write,” said Joan Hedstrom, Creston community literacy co-ordinator. “People today must be able to fill out online materials, service agreements, job applications and use social media. “Through our Reach a Reader campaign, we hope to increase awareness of literacy needs in our community and raise funds to support the literacy programs and services available for children, families, adults and seniors.” In Creston, funds will support family literacy programs. These programs include the Baby Goose program, an early literacy program that runs at the Creston Valley Public Library, and a simi-

lar pilot program for Crawford Bay. Baby Goose is a program for parents and their babies that encourages early language development through rhymes, songs, finger plays and stories. You can support the Reach a Reader campaign by making a donation in exchange for a special edition of the Creston Valley Advance on Oct. 8. Volunteers will be on the street with papers in hand at the Canyon Street Walkthrough and Overwaitea Foods between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. You may also donate online at chimp.net/groups/crestonreach-a-reader-campaign. To learn more about literacy programs in Creston, contact Joan Hedstrom at crestoncoordinator@ cbal.org or visit cbal.org/creston.

Moms and babies enjoy time together at a Baby Goose program, one of the programs CBAL is raising funds to support this year. Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy

Support Reach a Reader on October 8. Every dollar raised will support literacy programs in Creston!

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL), Black Press, Decoda Literacy Solutions and Kootenay Savings Credit Union are partnering to raise funds for literacy programs in the 5th Annual Reach a Reader Campaign.

Buy a paper from one of our volunteers on October 8 and 100% of your donation goes to literacy programs in Creston. Can’t be there? Donate online at cbal.org.

Though the “Emergency Scam” (or sometimes referred to as the “Grandparent Scam”) has been around for years, the RCMP-led Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre warns the public to be on alert after noting a marked increase in the number of complaints. Fraudsters contact potential victims while posing as a family member or friend in urgent need of cash. Often the scenario involves an accident or arrest while travelling abroad, with a request that cash be sent through a money transfer company, such as Western Union or Money Gram. In the typical scenario, a grandparent receives a phone call from con artist claiming to be one of their grandchildren. The caller goes on to say that they are in some kind of trouble, usually a car accident, returning from a foreign country, or even bail money and need money immediately. Victims don't verify the story until after the money has been sent as the caller speciﬁcally asks that they do not want other relatives to know what has happened by asking “Can you please help me? I'm in jail (or in the hospital / or in some type of ﬁnancial need). But don't tell Dad. He would kill me if he found out, please send the money ASAP. I'm scared." Wanting to help their grandchild, the victim sends money by a money transfer company such as Money Gram or Western Union. Variations on the scam exist such as an old neighbour, a friend of the family etc. but predominantly

THE EMERGENCY SCAM IS DIRECTED TOWARD THE GRANDPARENTS.

Obituaries

Thursday, October 1, 2015 Creston Valley Advance

Laura Agnes Wilson July 20, 1923 ~ August 31, 2015 Laura passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of August 31, 2015, at Swan Valley Lodge.

Laura was born in Edmonton, where she was raised and received her education. She loved playing basketball and enjoyed singing songs at the Baptist church. Later Laura went to secretarial school at the Baptist College in Edmonton. She worked as a nanny, traveling with a family to Banff, a trip that kindled her love for travel. While visiting her sister Sadie in Creston Laura met Jens Wilson, a logger. Jens followed Laura back to Edmonton, where they were married on November 16, 1946. After a short honeymoon at Lake Louise, the couple returned to Creston. They gradually expanded Jens’s bachelor home on the corner of Hillside and 15th for three children. Laura has great memories of working at IGA, for Dr. Miller, the government ofﬁce and in the hospital laundry.

In 1964 Wilson’s Florist Shop was opened. Wilson’s sold bedding plants, vegetables, asparagus, sodas, groceries and eventually flowers. Laura trained herself to be a florist and loved being creative and serving people. In the mid 70s, Laura and Jens moved to Wynndel, leaving the florist shop to son Larry. Laura continued to grow outdoor flowers like gladiolas and asters.

Laura was a people person who loved life, music, ﬂowers and to laugh. She sang with the Blossom Valley Singers, joined Toastmasters, did watercolors, enjoyed playing cards and Scrabble and cross country skiing. She also found time to inspire her grandchildren, join Jens on their boat, the Empress of Creston and travel to the U.S. including trip to assist with the annual New Year’s Rose Bowl Parade in California.

After Jens’ passing in 1992, Laura joined Edna Brummund on a three-month mission trip to Bogota, Columbia; enjoyed a trip to Europe and Denmark with her niece Carol, a Carribean cruise with sister Jeanette, a trip across Canada with daughter Louise and Bruce (who passed in 2012) for grandson Corey’s wedding in 2003 and family a trip to Alaska and Yukon in 2006. Laura is survived by three children, Louise, Ronald and Larry; ﬁve grandsons and nine great grandchildren: Darryl and Amy Phelps (Gabrielle, William, Zachariah, Noah and Rosealynn), Corey and Jill Phelps (Malcolm and Ryan), Brandon and Sheila Phelps (Cecily and Olivia), Logan Wilson and Dylan Wilson. She will be sorely missed by all.

Martha Grills 1943 ~ 2015

Martha Grills passed suddenly of a heart attack at the Creston Valley Hospital September 18, 2015 at the age of 72. Martha was born in Bruno, Saskatchewan to Barney and Lena Twardy. She grew up in Yellow Creek and married William Lyle Grills on November 25, 1966. As a young adult, Martha enjoyed going to professional wrestling matches with friends in Saskatchewan. She also enjoyed bowling, curling and coaching softball. She was an avid hockey and baseball fan, knowing all of the Blue Jays players' stats and was a proud hockey mother of her sons' PeeWee Rep hockey team. Martha worked in the ofﬁce at the Creston Valley Hospital for more than 25 years where she had developed strong friendships. After retiring, she spent time going to the States to play bingo and the slots. Martha touched a great many lives and cherished every relationship she had developed. Martha was a kind and generous soul and was known to help anyone she could. Children were naturally drawn to her soft spoken tones and gentle demeanor. She was incredibly proud of her children and their accomplishments. She supported them in all of their aspirations whether it was hockey or highland dance. Spending time with her grandchildren was important to her and she looked forward every visit. Martha was predeceased by her parents Barney and Lena; her sisters Barbara, Mary and Lena; brothers Johnny and Joe; and granddaughter Marissa. Martha is survived by her husband Lyle; daughter Shannon (Paul) and her children Tayler and Brenden; sons Jeffrey and Michael and his daughter Jayden; sisters Josephine and Ann; and brother Peter (Eleanor). Martha's service was held on Friday, September 25, 2015 at 2:00 pm at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 128 16th Ave. S., Creston, BC followed by a reception. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations in Martha's name can be made to either the Heart and Stroke Foundation or The Parkinson's Society of Canada. Although missed, Martha will hold a special place in the hearts of so many. Peace be with you Martha.

Margarethe Johanna Schweizer (nee Schmid) January 11, 1922 ~ September 4, 2015 Margarethe Johanna (Schmid) Schweizer was born in Dresden, Germany, on January 11, 1922 and passed away on September 4, 2015 in Kamloops, British Columbia. She is survived by her husband of 69 years, Eric; three children: Eric (Tish), Irène (Tom), and Rene (Betty); six grandchildren: Pierre (Chelsea), Ryan, Nadine, Dayna (Dwayne), Eric, and Natalie; and seven greatgrandchildren: Cierra, Hailey, Sarah, Gracie, Sterling, Alexandra, and Genevieve. Margarethe moved to Switzerland in 1925 where she grew up and later met the love of her life. She liked to affectionately recall seeing the handsome, uniformed soldier for the ﬁrst time, deciding instantly that she would marry him. They wed on September 29, 1945. The family relocated to Canada in 1955, back to Switzerland the same year, and then again to Canada in 1960, settling in Kamloops, B.C., where she worked at the Stockman’s Motor Hotel for several years as a dishwasher and later line cook. In 1971, Margarethe and her husband moved to Creston, B.C., where she worked in the family jewelry store, Creston Jewelers, tended an extensive garden and an orchard, and traveled around the world. Margarethe will be fondly remembered for her devotion to her husband and children and for her love of cooking. In 2014, she relocated to Kamloops, B.C., to The Hamlets at Westsyde, a nursing home. We acknowledge the staff there, who provided excellent care and compassion in Margarethe’s last year. Arrangements will be provided by Schoening Funeral Service in Kamloops, B.C.

Eric Charles Schweizer September 26, 1920 ~ September 18, 2015 Eric Charles Schweizer was born in Biel in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland, on September 26, 1920 and passed away on September 18, 2015 in Kamloops, British Columbia. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 69 years, Margarethe. Eric is survived by three children: Eric (Tish), Irène (Tom), and Rene (Betty); six grandchildren: Pierre (Chelsea), Ryan, Nadine, Dayna (Dwayne), Eric, and Natalie; and seven great-grandchildren: Cierra, Hailey, Sarah, Gracie, Sterling, Alexandra, and Genevieve. At the age of 16, Eric was apprenticed to a watch factory in Cortebert, Switzerland, where he learned the craft of watchmaking. World War II interrupted his career, and the Swiss Army stationed him in Weiach, Switzerland, on border watch, where he met his wife. In the post-war period, the Swiss watch industry declined due to the rise of quartz-crystal watches. Seeking opportunities, Eric moved his family to Canada in 1955, back to Switzerland the same year, and again to Canada in 1960, settling in Kamloops, B.C., where he repaired watches for Livingston Jewelers for eleven years. In 1971, Eric moved to Creston, B.C. with his wife where he owned and operated Creston Jewelers as well as an apple orchard. He retired from watchmaking in 1985 and then followed his wanderlust, travelling back to Switzerland, to India, Japan, Gibraltar, Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti, and many other places. Eric will be fondly remembered for his quiet strength, his dedication to his family, and his ability to drum a military tattoo on his dinner plate. In 2014, he relocated to Kamloops, B.C., to The Hamlets at Westsyde, a nursing home. We acknowledge the wonderful staff there, who provided excellent care and compassion in Eric’s last year. Arrangements will be provided by Schoening Funeral Service in Kamloops, B.C.

Most of the buildings, however, were destroyed by fire in March 1900, dealing a near-death blow to the settlement — so we know the photo was taken before then. This photo also reveals the BC Archives shot was taken looking west down Seventh Avenue while the Kootenay Lake Archives picture is of Main Street looking south. (The only other thoroughfare of consequence was A Avenue, which ran parallel to Main Street, further up the hillside.) Like the Kootenay Lake Archives photo of Kuskonook, this one was misidentified — as Trout Lake City. The existence of another Windsor Hotel in the latter community probably led to the erroneous description. The same album also contains another picture that is very likely Kuskonook (seen at right), of two men standing in front of the steps of a one-storey building with what looks to be the Windsor behind them. The ground is strewn with boulders. Many other photos also appear to be of the south end of Kootenay

Lake, but aren’t as easily identified. Some show the SS Marion, a sternwheeler that plied the Duncan River and Kootenay Lake prior to 1907. One especially intriguing shot is of a couple of canvas tents on a beach with the Marion and a barge in the background and many men milling about. One tent bears the crude sign “Boat to conect [sic] with Ainsworth —> Albeta (sic)/ Lodging.” In two others, a young boy, a dead ringer for Buster Brown, stands next to a shack with the sign “Homemade bread for sale.” The same child appears in another shot on horseback outside a one-storey building, probably his house. Yet another is of four welldressed women and two children on the house’s porch. Another view of the same house shows one of the planter boxes is made from a piece of lumber labelled “A. (or O?) Robinson logging camp.” But where was Robinson’s camp? That’s more grist for the historical mill. As part of an ongoing series on West Kootenay place names, Nelson Star editor Greg Nesteroff recently wrote a three-part series on the origin and spelling of Kuskanook, published in our Aug. 13 and 27, and Sept. 3 issues.

June 16, 1928 ~ September 15, 2015

Mary passed away peacefully at the age of 87 at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary on Tuesday, September 15, 2015 after a very short illness. Mary was born in Michel BC on June 16, 1928 to Henderson and Rose Bath. After graduating from Michel High School she entered a nursing program at the Provincial Normal School in Victoria. After a year she transferred to the teaching program. Her teaching career began in a one-room schoolhouse in Newgate BC. She loved to tell stories of going down to the school on winter mornings to start a ﬁre in the wood stove, and chipping ice from the frozen water bucket. Later, Mary accepted a job teaching in Fernie, boarding at the home of Albert and Lou Markland. It was while she was teaching there that she dated William James Eckersley, who was also born in

ANYTHING!

This photo was very likely taken in Kuskonook.

Michel and was working at the time at Bennett & White Lumber Co. They married in 1953 in Fernie’s Christ Church Anglican. In 1954 Mary and Bill had their ﬁrst child, Lorne. The small family moved to Calgary in 1956, where Rae Ann and Gae Aileen were born. Mary taught kindergarten for many years in Montgomery, the Calgary community where the family lived. She also worked in a clothing store before running a small used bookstore and post ofﬁce. At home, Mary enjoyed cooking and playing the mother’s role to many of her children’s friends. Lorne, Rae Ann and Gae knew that if they had a friend in need, their mother would make sure they had a place to stay and feel welcomed. She and Bill square danced and loved to play card games with neighbours. They enjoyed dining at the Legion and traveling in the mini motorhome they bought in the 1970s. She also enjoyed sewing and crafts projects. Her temari balls were popular Christmas decorations and newborn babies of family

and friends always received hand-knitted items to keep them warm. She was an avid reader, a gift she passed on to her children. Mary and Bill retired to Tie Lake BC in 1980 and later moved to an apartment in Fernie. Following Bill’s passing in 2004 she lived in Creston and then Fernie again before making her final move to Calgary in 2011. Nothing made her happier than to get visits from her children, grandchildren and, finally, great-grandchilren. Mary was predeceased by Bill, her parents, brother Henry and granddaughter Shawna. She is survived by her three children; Lorne (Angela) Eckersley of Creston, Rae Ann (John) Demmers of Calgary, and Gae (Alan) Simmonds, also of Calgary. She leaves behind five beloved grandchildren; Evan (Kate) Eckersley, Ryan (Lynita) Eckersley, Trina (Justin) Wickson, Corinna Demmers and Loni (Kanwar) Minhas, as well as seven treaured great-grandchildren; Shayden, Shiya and Shaliya Minhas, Quinn, Wilson and Isla Eckersley, and Colter Wickson. Mary is also survived by her older brother, Ron Bath of Fernie, and younger sister, Ada Serafini of Cut Knife SA. She will be interred in Fernie at a family service.

Another vintage photo of Kuskonook surfaces BY GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star

Less than two years ago, only one old photo was known to exist of the Kootenay Lake East Shore boomtown of Kuskonook (or Kuskanook). It was in the BC Provincial Archives and showed a bunch of false-fronted buildings with the lake in the background, but didn’t suggest a very large settlement. Then last year Peter Smith of Victoria shared a mystery photo with me from the Kootenay Lake Archives in Kaslo that was initially identified as Three Forks (a ghost town in the Slocan), but later crossed out and relabelled Ainsworth, and finally crossed out and again labelled Three Forks. It turned out the photo (in the March 27, 2014, Advance) actually depicted Kuskonook in 1898 — something we deduced from the sign on one building: “Klondyke Hotel, A. Manson, Prop.” That was Alfred Manson, listed in the 1898 BC civic directory as running the hotel. His great grandson also confirmed Manson had once been a hotelier there. (One of his competitors was Pedro Cherbo, co-proprietor of the Union Hotel and grandfather of Nelson city Coun. Robin Cherbo.) A key reason for the confusion was that the lake wasn’t visible in the photo, which otherwise indicated a lively place, with many more people and falsefronted buildings than in the BC Archives shot. None of the buildings were in both photos, but any lingering

doubt was resolved when Howard Boyle took a photo from the same location and overlayed the two — the mountains lined up perfectly and Highway 3A was shown running through what was then Main Street. Now magically, improbably, a third photo of Kuskonook has appeared — along with what could

be many others. And it’s a heck of an image, providing us with a much better sense of the town, and explaining how the previous two photos relate to each other. I’m indebted to noted Kootenay Lake historian Michael Cone for discovering it and telling me. He came across it among the Uno Langmann photographs

in the University of BC’s digitized collections. (Last year Langmann, a famed art collector, donated 18,000 historical photos to UBC, which has been making them available online. The site is providing a wealth of rare and unusual photos of this area — it’s the same place where I recently found a

photo of the hotel at Porto Rico Siding, south of Nelson.) The photo in question was part of an album of 90 images described as “focused on early British Columbian life taken throughout the province.” It’s taken from Kootenay Lake in winter and shows the SS Alberta docked at the Kuskonook wharf. There are easily two dozen wooden buildings, some on stilts. It was a rough and ready town, slapped together in a hurry to cash in on advancing railway lines. One building’s sign says “Saloon” in big letters. Standing next to the Klondyke Hotel is the four-storey Windsor Hotel, whose roof sign is visible upon zooming in. According to the 1898 civic directory, Frank Twombly and Thomas S. Shanks were its proprietors. Shanks also had a hotel in Salmo in 1897 but went broke. Fred Vipond, who lived there as a young boy in 1899, described it in Kootenay Pathfinders thusly: “Kuskonook proved to be a wellestablished town pleasantly situated. … Kuskonook’s seven hotels, the Anderson House, Butte, International, Kalama, Klondike, Union, and Windsor, had sprung up during the CPR construction [and] remained open for business, as did Charles Wright’s general store and other business establishments. Two provincial constables remained on the scene because Kuskonook had seen some rowdy times several months earlier …”
